Dirty Pricks

Dirty Pricks

Dirty Pricks is a 10m by 1.5m hanging drawing, containing 443,520 digits (pin pricks) from June 2024. The drawing absent of ink, absent of information, forms an analogue data storage cloud. Similarly to the Dirty Drawings when the viewer peers into the landscape of tiny pin pricks, they are caught in a mist, unable to grasp or locate the individual data points, presenting the impenetrability and inaccessibility of raw data.
